The number's on the side are the USMC registration number. Rather than put unit markings on the truck, the Marine Corps simply stencil's the reg. number on the truck. They don't receive unit marking's for the most part but occasionally you'll see one that's been personalized with some artwork.

+1 on check the torque. You CANNOT rely on feel for torque in this area. I'm not backing Jatonka up in this area as the adapters I have on my truck came from Westfolk. Regardless of that, I installed them by feel and guess what? They leaked. I took the filter's off, torqued with a known...

That's not a Stryker. It's a LAV Logistics vehicle that the Marine Corps uses. Very similar but the very different at the same time. Notice the propellers on the back and on the front it has an extend-able bow plane. Floating Light Armor? Who needs that? Oh yeah, the Marines are crazy as...

If you need some help in the morning, let me know, I'm only about 40 miles away.

pm travixxj89 and pctrans. They are both out of Florida and may be able to help.

I'll agree with Westech on the added ballast in the bed. I've done (2) 800 series 5 ton recoveries in the same week and they can be interesting to tow. You will be going very slow and you'll learn to appreciate the sychronized transfer case quite a bit on restarts. Do not attempt without the...

A Deuce is as tight of a tight squeeze that most would like to handle, that M814 won't make it past the campground but you're more than welcome to hang out there. I bought a CUCV to compensate.

Started my well maintained Deuce in +17 degree weather tonight with no intake heater assist on the first bump of the starter button. The CUCV stalled out even equipped with good glowplugs. It stayed on the second go around. Is there any harm with running these trucks about an hour a week at...

I can go down and get it about 60 miles closer. I'll also give it a good once over and make sure it's ready for a road trip!!! It would not by far be my first tow job and I'll bet I'd get lucky and let your truck tow mine back. Also, Mark GL is a programmed contact in my phone, he's a nice...

I've learned the pioneer tools are behind the seat because my truck once had a firefighting apparatus in the bed and there was nowhere else to store the tools. Mine is one of the rare M1028FF's albeit missing the fire apparatus currently.

Steven, A pallet jack is a great idea, the military used something similar and then you'd only have to pull the axle shaft, 3" nuts and remove the brake drum and hub assembled to the tires. Those tires are heavy!!! I've never had an inner bearing stick but the inner seal is both hard...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/59498-nos-usmc-m1028-norway-storage.html Laughing aside, this is my truck. I'd expect a pretty nice oh-9???? in trade. lol but not really. I'd expect good paint, no or not much rust etc, and not too many miles as my truck has hardly no miles and no rust anywhere.

The shifts are hard on my truck as well and at a little higher rpm's than it sounds like it should. I don't have a tach to verify but it sounds like it waits till about 2,000 even when driving lightly which at first sounds like an odd rpm to shift at but it's right near the torque peak for this...

I'd give my M1028 up if the "right" M1009 in very nice shape showed up. I doubt I'd need the strength of the Dana 60 as I don't hit the trails that hard. I mostly daily drive. It'd be a hard decision for me though since my truck just past 2400 original miles and has been hanging out in a cave...

The post was brought up by others. That's how I found it. The only rule that you try to enforce concern post's on auctions which is why I suggested you apply to become a moderator/Auction Police. There have been threads about auction/CL items in the past month. And you have this thread...

If we're going strictly by the rules, cursing is prohibited on this family friendly forum as well. I'm just pointing out that you seem to be riding both sides of the fence on this auction business. I'm sure the GL ad money helps with the site and I'm sure some people may have had to pay more...

KsM715, Fancy seeing you start a thread a while back fussing about an auction site (GL OMG!!! WHO ARE THEY???? LET'S KEEP THE SECRET!!!!!!!!!!!!) yet you are the "Auction Police" anytime you come across any info/thread posted about an auction. I understand the rules but I do get annoyed...

Tire size is 14X20 on singles. What sale/lot numbers? I'll check it over and see if it's missing the radiator tomorrow. When your EUC clears, hit me up, I'll get the paperwork to the right people so Pete can pick up on his schedule as we've done previously.

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/59498-nos-usmc-m1028-norway-storage.html I wonder what this one would be worth. If the link doesn't work, it's because I'm not quite sure how to link a thread but if you copy and paste in your browser, it should come up. Maybe someone can do a tutorial on...

Well, as for the 13,000 views in a day, it's pretty neat to see a girl enter this arena. I owned a M1028 for about 2 hours once. It now belongs to my wife and though she hasn't subscribed to this board, she does say that the CUCV is her's and she's awaiting an 8 inch lift and mods to install...
